So I have been in the Army for 16 months now, and so far I've completed basic training, earned Distinguished Honor Grad (Valedictorian) of my Advanced training class, earned the respect and trust of the chaplain and command staff I will go downrange with, even got an Army Achievement Medal for being proficient and "forethinking" in my work.
But my greatest accomplishment thusfar would have to be proving myself able to compete with the best of the Sappers in Ultimate Frisbee, and helping HHC (Headquarters and Headquarters Company) win the Battalion Organization Day trophy. Its always nice to come to work the next day and receive compliments from the command staff (the big guys in the battalion) for playing well.
Ok, time for more packing before bed. But first a little hint of advice for anyone looking to get permanent marker out of clothing (or military gear before turning it back in), Extra strength freezing aerosol hair spray works wonders, especially when combined with Spray-n-Wash with Resolve power. But it is mostly the hair spray that does the work. Trust me. I may be speaking from first-hand experience.
Pro Deo Et Patria!
